Thanks for sharing that. There should be a Beastie Boys channel devoted solely to live performances on YouTube. Perhaps there is one I am forgetting...

[romanpetr]

Yep,that's awesome! Thank You for that wonderful evening! I'm crying...
RIP MCA!

I heard Tip was pretty much wrecked when he made the original recording, going off the dome, and that explains why he can't remember the lyrics, and is just bullshit freestlying at Lollapalooza.

Thanks but this is the first Tibetan Freedom Concert.

[brooklyndust]

Lalapalooza = Tibetan Freedom Concert

I'm partial to the St. Louis performance:

There is a higher quality recording of it out there somewhere.

Check out this dudes channel though: has tons of bootlegs, that you would've had to swap vhs' back in the day to get. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyR...TyPtMhFZpVbQ9Q

also, here is a steady cam shot of Too Many Rappers live from Alfredo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH08ylBq-EI

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

TFC and Lalapalooza are not equal.

Two different festivals.

[brooklyndust]

I know, I was pointing out how someone was talking about lalapaloza and responded with tfc. Nevermind, don't drink and post.

[brooklyndust]

It's like that clip where people keep on labeling it as beastie boys at wood stock. Hogan Claiming to be at summer slam 92. All of Alex jones and people mistaking a screen shot of too many rappers as seeing the whole music video. People don't know wha there talking about.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

Haha okay. Yeah drinking and posting goes bad

[camo]

Yeah I got the two mixed up. It was drink related too - not enough coffee yesterday morning!

Coffee is critical for cognitive functioning in the 21st Century.

i cried too when i first saw it. Initial reaction.

[ericg]

who's the cut throat crack dealin wannabe gangsta again???
really beasties!?! come on... you're the best, but then that??? there's better than that and you should know..!!!
i mean don't get me wrong, i'm probably one of the too many.. if you can even call my ish rapping, but i don't subscribe to that one song in the beasties repatroire (sp), and that just never happens... wtf chuck

maybe nas consumates the meaning of too many rappers as he would be one.. did the beasties just play him like that so he and people learn eventually, or was it really a song they wanted to appeal to the dirty south ish... keep hip hop clean my friends...

Deal. But only If you match me and get yourself a Dictionary and some sort of A rudimentary education

[ericg]

get a rudimentary education?
really?
i won't leave ya behind, but..
i guess the slowest kid sets the standard these days...
doped up and dumbed down
not a good place for kids
not allowed to think outside the box..
what's there not to understand?
i don't think you've been paying attention..
i may only have 2 years of college, but i know bs when i see it.
that's what's wrong with the country... we're setting examples now like taht?
you have to be a cutthroat, crack dealing, thug to make it or be an emcee these days?
i don't know what you're trying to say, all i'm saying is that it's not so cool to me.

This is an awesome find! Sick research skills Eoin MCL!

If anyone has a copy of this (mp4, avi, whatever) or a link to a place where I can download it, I'd be much obliged. I have a feeling it's gonna get yanked down from various YouTube channels as they are uncovered. Could be wrong, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. PM me if you want to be that gracious human being!

Also, just as a side note, I think it's really just.... I dunno, interesting how Yauch's first verse changed between the video version (or pre-album release version I guess) and the version that ultimately appeared on HSCP2. He makes a reference to never dying on the video version, but that verse was cut by the time the album came out.

I've been listening to the album version a lot lately and I forgot about that original verse. It was nice to hear him say it again. Living on and never dying through his music.

[ericg]

damn... did i say i didn't like a beasties song? what? never thought i'd see the day i ever thought a bad thought about them..
i mean, they've saved my and manys life so many times...

anyway,
word up
1 for eric, 0 for camo

... you're still good
i can't say the same for me though...

Ummmm no. You've didn't really acknowledge what I said. You've gone and built yourself up there. I'm gonna call it an ERIC-SHUN.

[ericg]

Do tell.

[DJ Pioneer]

Thanks so much for sharing! It was great to see them all together again, and it looks like they had fun making it. I wonder what was running through Nas' head during filming haha!

[Bernard Goetz]

The fuck just happened in here.

The album version says "Like a nexus 6 coming home to roost" so it's actually about dying. I thought that was super brave, fucking deep and a really poetic way for him to commit that idea to wax.
